The Arab press likewise published many reactions to Trump’s victory. Saudi articles called on him to work to bring an end to the bloodshed and wars in the Middle East; one even referred to him as “the savior” of the world and of the Middle East and as “the man who will make peace a reality.” 

Saudi Daily Okaz: Trump's Arab And Muslims Voters Expect Him To End The Wars

The Saudi daily Okaz stated in an editorial: "In light of the wars [raging across the world], from Ukraine to Gaza and Lebanon – as well as the political and security tensions, regarding which the Democratic administration has failed to achieve any breakthroughs so far – the overwhelming victory of the Republican candidate Donald Trump comes at a time when the world needs decisive action and positions in order to put out the raging fires and stop the bloodshed, especially in the Middle East...

Saudi Columnist: We Must Not Miss Rare Opportunities To Make Peace

Saudi columnist Muhammad Al-Sa'd wrote in the daily Okaz: "It was an American spectacle, but also a global and Middle Eastern one. Trump, who was despised by some Arab and Western organizations and nations that were taken in by the propaganda leading up to [his election] as president... became the man who will save the world from a possible nuclear war and save the Middle East from Sisyphean wars, and the man who enables [us] to dream and makes peace a reality.

Egyptian Daily Al-Ahram: Trump No Doubt Understands That Leaving The Middle East In A Vacuum Will Strengthen The Terror Organizations And Jeopardize U.S. Interests

The Egyptian government daily Al-Ahram stated in an editorial: "The issue of combating terrorism was at the forefront of Trump's election campaign, so he is expected to work for broader cooperation with the moderate governments in the [Middle East] region, which likewise seek to fight terrorism. It is known that Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE lead these moderate forces, and Donald Trump will [therefore] work towards greater cooperation with them.

Emirati Journalist: Trump Is Expected To Renew His Relations With The Moderate Arab States, Revive The Abraham Accords, And Force Iran To Make Tactical Concessions

Emirati journalist Muhammed Faisal Al-Dosari wrote in his column in the London-based Emirati daily Al-Arab: "...In the Middle East, Trump is seen as a 'deal-maker' and therefore as a figure whose actions are hard to predict. [But] he is expected to work to tighten his relations with his traditional allies in the region, especially the moderate Arab states.

"The region will also witness a return to the Abraham Accords with Israel, which will put an end to the crises currently hanging over the region – in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, Yemen and elsewhere. 

As for Iran, it will be in a difficult position, as its leaders understand that Trump's return could mean more pressure and sanctions [against their country], and perhaps even military threats that could endanger its nuclear program. 

However, Iran will continue to be driven by considerations related to its available military and economic power, which might force it to maneuver and make some tactical concessions, albeit without undermining the core of its regional strategy, especially its support for its local proxies in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

Editor Of London-Based Qatari Daily: Trumps' Return Is A Serious And Worrying Nightmare

Ma'en Al-Bayari, editor of the London-based Qatari daily Al-Arabi Al-Jadid, wrote: "...We all have experience with him. 

He lived in the White House for four years before Biden replaced him. [So] it would be fair to say that his return to the presidency of the world's most powerful country is a serious nightmare, for what we know about him is not reassuring, [but rather] worrying. 

This is not to say that the defeated Kamala Harris would have acted justly and fairly toward the world... But in the case of Trump and his expected administration, we are looking at a higher level of arrogance, Zionism and racism... 

The fact that Netanyahu was the first to congratulate the winning candidate, and boasted of 'the greatest comeback in history,' attests to the renewed alliance between the two, for they are friends, and will go to the greatest possible extremes in killing off the Palestinian issue and turning it into a matter of investments, as they tried to do with the plan Trump announced [during his first term] – the 'Deal [of the Century]' for peace in the region...
